About this map

Aberdeen Proving Ground dominates the western shore of this coastal survey, where military development meets the natural complexity of the upper Chesapeake Bay. The landscape is a mix of tactical infrastructure and wildlife habitat, featuring an Auto test course, a Sewage disposal plant, and an Abandoned airport alongside the marshes of Spesutie Island. Northward, the Susquehanna National Wildlife Refuge encompasses the waters of the bay, including the isolated Fishing battery. Across the water to the east, the rural character of Grove Neck and Elk Neck contrasts sharply with the military installation. This area is defined by its deep-water access and strategic position at the confluence of the Elk River and Sassafras River, revealing the mid-century transition from traditional maritime use to modern federal operations.
